Matters
Of The Heart
Tracy Chapman |
After an international best selling first album, Tracy has allowed
her musical integrity, and not commercial success, to dictate
her subsequent career. Her four albums to date have been progressively
more sophisticated and beautifully produced.
Matters of the Heart (the third) is my favorite. Possibly my
favorite album of all time.
A deep, sophisticated, introspective, subtly melodic, intricately
textured, album, with typically socially conscious lyrics, sung
with Tracy's characteristically longing, passionate phrasing.
Like many of the classic albums that truly endure, it may take
many listens before you really appreciate it, but each new playing
will reveal more of the beauty of this brilliant album.
